MANAGING CONTAINERIZED APPLICATIONS ON A MOBILE DEVICE WHILE BYPASSING OPERATING SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED INTER PROCESS COMMUNICATION

摘要

A method of on-device access using a container application to manage a sub application provisioned on a computer device by set of stored instructions executed by a computer processor to implement the steps of: receive a communication for the sub application by a first service programming interface (SPI) of the container application, the communication sent by a on-device process over a first communication pathway of a device infrastructure of the computer device utilizing interprocess communication (IPC) framework of the device infrastructure, the first communication pathway provided external to the first SPI; retransmit the communication by the first SPI to a second SPI of the sub application over a second communication pathway that bypasses the IPC framework, the second communication pathway internal to the first SPI; receiving a response to the communication by the first SPU from the second SPI over the second communication pathway; and directing the response to the on-device process over the first communication pathway.
